If you live in Wyoming, your vote for president has over 3x the power that someone living in California or New York does. If electoral votes were spread fairly around the states republicans would never win another presidental election again, which is why it will never happen
The US by total population would probably slide into a liberal democracy, but they're being held back by 40% of the population that have more voting power than the other 60% |
I will agree with you that the proportion is off. California should have like 100 electoral votes . But I don't agree that the Senate should also be by population. At least one branch should be by state.
